Testing

As part of our service to OEMs, Nexthermal has a testing lab available to measure the profile of the interaction between a heater and the mating component. Such testing produces important findings that can impact the design of the heater and the mating component to optimize thermal transfer and thermal performance, packaging jaws, for example, can be compatible with a greater range of films if they have a very flat profile (within three degrees Fahrenheit) across the working surface. Similarly, hot runner nozzles can be used with a wider range of engineering grade plastics when the heater is correctly profiled. Better product quality, faster throughput speed and improved range of materials are all possible outcomes of optimizing thermal performance.

Through our distributors, Nexthermal can offer the same profile testing OEMS depend on to end users. If your application is specific to you-or your throughput materials are very demanding, the impact upon your process, output, and quality can be substantial.

Nexthermal can do more than simply build a heater for you. We can help you improve your equipment's performance and your competitive advantage.
